It’s December next week so if you’re anything like me, you’re rushing about getting ready for Christmas. With that comes plenty of festive music, including Paola Bejarano’s latest single, ‘It’s Christmas Time’.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Multi-talented Colombian artist Paola Bejarano takes a nostalgic, bluesy look at Christmas in her new single, which was influenced by such festive classics as Chuck Berry’s ‘Run, Run Rudolph’ and The Ronettes ‘Sleigh Ride’, which can be heard in both the retro school sound and such lyrics as, <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“When December hits begin to play<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa’s gonna buy a brand new sleigh <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gonna ride to some Christmas tunes <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa’s gonna rock the holiday blues away <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santa’s gonna drop the beat”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written by Steve Bowen. ‘It’s Christmas Time’ is a bright and uplifting song, which is set to become a holiday classic, and serves as a brilliant introduction to the talents of Paola Bejarano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paola is more than just a singer; she is also a pianist, composer, and producer, and has worked with the likes of Alfredo Gutierrez, Eibar Gutierrez, Esteman, La Sociedad 111, as well as performing at music festivals such as El Evento 40\u00a0and\u00a0Gospel Al Parque. She’s an unstoppable force and is combining her solo projects with her work with the band Roomsfeel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
